I will say it depends on how much do you like to farm really or how much free time do you have, I do enjoy x10-x15 servers but just when I have the time to play (like +4 hours a day), when I don't, I like to play x30-x100 servers, always with l2off files, I think that l2j its not even close to the real thing, right now I'm waiting for L2sublimity that its gonna open in a month, Gracia Final, L2OFF, High rates, with some custom things, ''balanced'' for a high rate, cool community. To really enjoy and know this game you need to play low rates, thats a fact, first server I played was c3 x5.

This guy summed up my feelings. Low rates are cool but since I have a busy lifestyle i prefer 30-100x rates because:

little time to invest on the game makes it better to spend it pvping instead of farming

when balanced re rates, gmshop and drops they won't enable assholes to stack +20 gear and such
